An Audience Makes a Difference

Foolishly, I started both these blogs thinking that it was just me and the anonymous internet. (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)  I really didn't think anyone would find me out there among all the well-written, focused blogs out there. It is a blessing and a curse that folks I know have found my big blog.  It is only a curse because I feel the weight of my responsibilities and roles and feel like I have to "be" a certain way.

When I read what I write now, compared to what I used to write about, I feel like I dropped the ball or that something is missing. I don't want to have that change there, but I'm not sure how to stop it.  It is important to me to avoid certain topics because the internet isn't the place for them.  At the same time, I find that sometimes, with the limited range of my life right now (lots of work, very little else), I don't always have that much to talk about except for my own meandering thoughts. Sometimes, I don't want to go there. ;)

Anyway, I just felt like I needed to say something about that.  I haven't worked it out, but I will.

2010 Rings In Smooth and Clear

I know I don't spend much time here on the "pink" blog, but for some reason, it holds a fond place in my heart. It is the place where I gained enough confidence to continue to blog and to try to find my way here in the vast array of voices on the internet.

Welcome to the New Year!  I think many good things are in store for me and everyone this year.

I will be in and out here - sometimes I come here when the content of what I have to say doesn't quite match up with what I'm doing on WildRumpusing, so I haven't given up over here.

From my random pick in my "Ordinary Sparkling Moments" Inspiration Cards, my phrase for the year:

Touchdown to The Great Work

I wandered over here today and I felt a twinge of guilt about having abandonded this blog in many ways. I am proud of it and I still have an attachment to it, but I am overcommitted, so I have mostly been focused on WildRumpusing.  I think there is a place for both blogs in my world, I just have to figure it out.

Perhaps this will be my gratitude place.

Thanks for visiting, those of you who do. I will try to be better about posting things here. :)

Hello, Pink Blog

I was missing this blog today, so I thought I would pop over and say hi. Hardly anyone comes here anymore, including me, which, I'm sure is why other people don't really stop by - nothing's happening.

It is incredibly hot today - supposed to be the hottest overnight low - 73 degrees overnight. Yuk. It was around 102 degrees during the day time, so everyone is just moving a little more slowly, thinking a little more slowly, conserving energy and trying not to sweat in the first place.

I'm doing some of the Great Work - trying to find more balance in life. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I'm taking a telecoaching course and struggling, but that's ok. Like it says in "The Velveteen Rabbit" - becoming isn't easy or quick...it is slow and rubs the pink out of our ears.

Life is good. Even when it doesn't feel like it.
